Pajong Gai

These tasty fish with the tails of seals are not only a major food source on the moons of Huan’Hai, such as Miseo, but also the namesake for Lake Pajong Gai, on whose shores rest several small villages and legendary sites. The chief among these sites is Aerishael, which is conveniently located near a large enclave of these creatures. Like fish, Pajong Gai spawn huge populations quickly, and their egg clusters are also, in some locations, considered a delicacy. Even though these creatures spend most of their time swimming through lakes and bays, they are also capable of extended stays on rocky outcroppings, where they sunbathe and warble, mimicking the sounds of birds, other wildlife, or even machines nearby.

Pajong Gai are not particularly intelligent, and if their populations are left unchecked, they can become a nuisance. They have no sense of personal space and are drawn to cluster in, on, or near almost any form of artificial structure or body that gives off heat. To control their populations, fishing of them is encouraged, and their meat is sweet and tender, making them a popular main course for everything from soups and fillets to sandwiches and caviar.
